   Pronounciation Guide:

     char      "CHar"
      *        "Star"
      |        "Bar"
      ,        "Commar"
      $        "Dollar"
      &        "Ampar"
      @        "Avoir"
      %        "Centus par"
      ^        "uparrar"
      (        "opar"
      )        "clopar"
      _        "nopar"
      {or}     "curlar"
    
   I hope this helps.  Make sure you don't get any of these confused 
with Mopar, Slopar, NoCar, GoKart, or any similar variants.
